“In Gosaba MP Jyotirmay Singh Mahato is made the observer and GS Sanjay Singh is made in-charge, In Shantipur MP Jagannath Sarkar is made the observer and Abhijit Singh is in-charge, in Dinhata MoS Nisith Pramanick is observer and Dipen Pramanick is in-charge and in Khardah MP Arjun Singh is observer and Sabyasachi Dutta is in charge” read the notification of the saffron camp.
Meanwhile, sparking speculation of breaking the alliance with the Congress, the CPI (M) chairman and senior politburo member Biman Basu said that they have fielded individual candidates in all the seats as the Congress didn’t respond to their call for alliance.
“In Dinhata AIFB candidate is Abdur Rauf, in Shantipur its CPI (M)’s Soumen Mahato, in Khardah its CPI (M)’s Debojyoti Das and in and in Gosaba its RSP’s Anil Chandra Mandal.
